I went LIVE and lived to tell about it. Going live; I’m pretty sure my heart needed a blood pressure cuff. Just in case.
I could only go live on Instagram with the help of my dear friend and fellow author, Andy Lee. Sure, she interviewed me. But I want you to know the behind-the-scenes story.
Really, she was teaching me a new skill and stretching me quite a bit. (Find instruction for going live on Facebook. On Instagram.)
Plus, the internet was funky that day. So I ended up stuck in a corner of my office with the worst lighting. And quickly adjusting my too loud sound. Oh well, nothing like a dose of humility when you’re going live!
Andy’s book, Radiant Influence (don’t ya love that title!), is available here. If you are a thinker with a big heart, you are going to love Andy’s writing.
Going Live: Proof of Growth
As scary as it was, I only went live because I care about people who may be hurting and seeking help. How will they find us, if we never try to have those conversational adventures that scare us? Scary technology and new skills? Small potatoes!
Here’s proof I’ve grown a lot over the last couple of years. When the interview is the least scary thing about the moment, that’s progress!
I hope you are growing and stretching, too. I have no doubt God wants to do BIG things with you, his beloved child. Of course, that means stepping into our fear and doing it anyway.

We LOVE to hear from YOU!
Who taught you to use influence wisely? When have you ever influenced a situation in a way that gave you joy? If you have “a book in your heart,” as Andy calls it, what would you write?
May we pray together?
Dear good Father, we love you so much. We praise You now for Your beauty and creativity. All around us we see Your quiet influence. In the giggle of a baby, in the soft breeze, in a sunset, You speak to us. Help us hear Your voice. Teach us to be more like You. Thank You for the friends You send our way. We rejoice with all those who love You and respond to Your purpose in their lives. Help us lift up Your name in a hurting world. Bless us now because that is Your heart’s desire. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
